Autumn berries aplenty for this wonderful walk in a favourite area for the Gloucestershire Outdoor Group, walking around the elevated commons in the heart of the county. And a special moment too, on a day we all remember…

A lovely 7.5-miler out from Minchinhampton with plenty of Autumn colour: leaves, berries and still some flowers in places. We held a silence to mark Remembrance Sunday at 11am, overlooking a beautiful valley. Such contrast to the noise and turmoil of wars being considered.

Many other opportunities to mark the poignancy of the day were provided from poppy-covered church doors to a remembrance plaque on a village wall.

Henry’s cafe was our final stop for a well-earned cuppa and cake as we viewed the names on the memorial on the corner of Minchinhampton’s Market Building.

A very special day.

Don’t forget, check out our programme of events, and see if your favourite part of the Cotswolds is popular with our group.
